Statement by Montreal Academic Community Against Police Brutality in India, CAA, NRC

We, the members of the Montreal academic community, stand in solidarity with students exercising their fundamental right to dissent and protest across India.

We condemn the brutality unleashed by the police against students of Jamia Millia Islamia, Aligarh Muslim University and many other academic institutions in the Northeastern states, and across the country. On the 15th of December, at JMI, police fired tear gas shells, entered hostels and attacked students studying in the library and praying in the mosque. Over 200 students have been severely injured, many who are in critical condition. There have also been reports of sexual harassment of female students by the police. A similar situation of violence has been unfolding at other universities, in some cases without any recourse to the press or public due to internet shutdowns and imposition of section 144.

For the Indian Government to mobilise police and paramilitary forces against its own non-violent and peacefully protesting students is emblematic of a troubling trend that attacks the very foundations of a democratic society. Under no circumstances should it be acceptable for the police to barge into University campuses, libraries, hostels or prayer spaces, to physically and verbally abuse and intimidate students and arbitrarily detain them. It is particularly concerning that this state-led repression is targeting students at majority-Muslim institutions, indicating the impunity with which the state can enact violence against minority populations in India. An atmosphere of fear, insecurity and anxiety is being deliberately created to brow-beat students into silence against what is a clear violation of the Indian Constitution and its secular ethic. To mischaracterize student protests as “riots,” and the police’s use of excessive force as justified “peacekeeping,” is an unlawful denial of students’ rights as citizens. We demand an immediate end to all forms of violence against the protesting students and call for accountability of those responsible.

Over the past several days, we have witnessed many peaceful protests and demonstrations against the National Register of Citizens (NRC) and the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019. The Act provisions for preferential treatment of religious minorities from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan seeking to acquire Indian citizenship, while explicitly excluding Muslim refugees from its purview. This blatant discrimination against Muslims violates the principles of equality, liberty, and secularism that form the basis of the Constitution of India. We lend our unconditional support to all those across India fighting this unconstitutional law and join their call for its immediate withdrawal.

Déclaration de la communauté académique montréalaise contre la brutalité policière en Inde, CAA, NRC
Nous, membres de la communauté académique montréalaise, sommes solidaires avec les étudiant.e.s qui exercent leur droit fondamental à la dissidence incluant le droit de manifester partout en Inde.
Nous condamnons la brutalité perpétrée par la police contre les étudiant.e.s de l’Université Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI), de l’Université Aligarh Muslim (AMU) et de nombreux autres établissements universitaires dans les États du nord-est et dans tout le pays. Le 15 décembre, à la JMI, la police a tiré des grenades lacrymogènes, est entrée dans des résidences universitaires et a attaqué des étudiant.e.s dans la bibliothèque et celles et ceux qui priaient à la mosquée. Plus de 200 élèves ont été gravement blessés, dont beaucoup sont dans un état critique. Des cas de harcèlements sexuels perpétrés par la police ont également été signalés. Une situation de violence similaire s’est produite dans d’autres universités, dans certains cas sans aucun recours à la presse ou au public en raison des coupures d’Internet et de l’imposition de l’article 144.
Le fait que le gouvernement indien mobilise la police et les forces paramilitaires contre ses propres étudiant.e.s non violents et manifestant pacifiquement est emblématique d’une tendance troublante qui attaque les fondements mêmes d’une société démocratique. En aucun cas, il ne devrait être acceptable que la police fasse irruption dans les campus universitaires, les bibliothèques, les résidences d’étudiant.e.s ou les lieux de prière, maltraite physiquement et verbalement les étudiant.e.s, les intimide et les arrête de manière arbitraire. Il est particulièrement préoccupant de constater que cette répression menée par l’État cible les étudiant.e.s dans les institutions à majorité musulmane, ce qui indique l’impunité avec laquelle l’État peut recourir à la violence contre les populations minoritaires en Inde. Un climat de peur, d’insécurité et d’anxiété est délibérément créé pour intimider les étudiant.e.s et les faire taire contre ce qui constitue une violation de la Constitution indienne et de son éthique laïque. Qualifier à tort les manifestations étudiantes comme des "émeutes" et le recours excessif à la force par la police comme "maintien de la paix" est un déni des droits des étudiant.e.s en tant que citoyen.ne.s. Nous exigeons l’arrêt immédiat de toutes les formes de violence à l’encontre des étudiant.e.s qui manifestent et exigeons que les responsables rendent des comptes.
Au cours des derniers jours, nous avons assisté à de nombreuses manifestations pacifiques contre le National Register of Citizens (NRC) et le Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), 2019. La loi prévoit un traitement préférentiel pour les minorités religieuses du Pakistan, du Bangladesh et de l’Afghanistan qui cherchent à acquérir la citoyenneté indienne, tout en excluant explicitement les réfugiés musulmans de son champ d’application. Cette discrimination flagrante contre les musulman.e.s viole les principes d’égalité, de liberté et de laïcité qui sont à la base de la Constitution indienne. Nous apportons notre soutien inconditionnel à tous ceux et celles qui, à travers le pays, luttent contre cette loi inconstitutionnelle et nous nous joignons à leur appel pour son retrait immédiat.
